A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 886 Return Festival
"In fact, the title of nobility only has those benefits. It is not a very special status. There is no problem in maintaining your daily lifestyle. As for those aristocratic meetings and banquets, you don't have to go if you don't want to. I will mail you a noble handbook and your exclusive aristocratic identity badge later." Seeing that Leon was in a daze, Duke Dress was not idle either, and chatted with him casually for a few more words.

"Okay, I see. Thank you to the royal family and Duke Dress for your kindness." Thinking of what Mr. Qi had mentioned before about the privileges of aristocratic marriage, Lyon had no reason to refuse.

"You don't have to thank us. Instead, we should thank you. We are benefiting from your current fame." Duke Dress emphasized.

"It's mutually beneficial." Leon said politely.

"Okay, that's it. I'll be leaving first. I hope you can enjoy the summer carnival next." After explaining his purpose, Duke Dress stopped disturbing them. He waved goodbye to Leon and the two girls behind him and left without stopping.

"It looks like you've finished talking with Duke Dress. Could you please delay your trip a little longer?"

But as soon as Duke Dress left, Bishop Owen took his place and stood in front of Lyon.

"Bishop Owen." Leon greeted him and at the same time focused his attention on Bishop Owen's church service, but found that he didn't see any pockets on his clothes that could hold things.

"Don't look, it's here." Bishop Owen smiled and stretched out his hand. Then he opened his hand. A purple five-pointed star-shaped badge inlaid with gold and the seal of Yuba lay quietly in his palm.

"Iridium? Star Fruit?" Leon asked tentatively after seeing the shape and background color of the emblem.

"Yes, it's shaped like a Star Fruit, crafted from smelted iridium ingots, and inlaid with gold. This is the emblem the Church bestows upon those favored by God for their special contributions." Bishop Owen nodded. "I promised it to you before, and now I'm giving it to you. It represents the Church's approval and a favor."

"I thought I would be awarded in public. I have even prepared my speech." Lyon joked. After all, Bishop Owen had said before that he would speak on stage, but judging from the actual situation today, it seemed that he did not have this opportunity.

"That was the original plan, but who knew Bishop Julis would actually show up in person to preside over the ceremony? And she's a bit of an efficiency-conscious person, so we kept things simple."

Bishop Owen explained, "And if it weren't for Bishop Yulis presiding, you wouldn't have had the chance to obtain a Guardian Net seed. Tell the truth, are you related to her?"

"No, it's my first time seeing it. I thought this Guardian Net plant was a unanimous decision of the church and was entrusted to me to take care of." Lyon answered truthfully, but he also had some guesses in his mind.

"We don't object, but we're worried that you'll encounter unnecessary trouble. The other sub-strains will be guarded by the church's combat forces, but you'll have to protect this one yourself. However, Stardew Valley has a guardian, a semi-retired top warrior, and he seems to have a good relationship with you. I think you should have no problem." Bishop Owen joked.

"Well, I should be able to lend a hand myself. After all, the farm is in Stardew Valley, not in the Calico Desert." Lyon was not worried about this. Putting aside the two big guys mentioned by Bishop Owen, there was also Brother Bear in the Secret Forest. He also had some combat power now. Stardew Valley was not a border area, so it was relatively safe.

"Just keep it in mind." Bishop Owen didn't say anything else. He patted Lyon on the shoulder twice and left.

After waiting for a while and not seeing the third guy blocking the road, Lyon continued to move forward.

"You are a superior person now."

On the way, Abigail played with the badge of the God's Chosen that Leon handed her and joked.

"The church's affairs were decided in advance, but I, Duke Dress, really didn't know anything about it. When we first met, he didn't reveal anything," Leon explained.

"Then do I have to call you Viscount from now on?" Sophia teased.

"I have no objection if you call me dad." Leon doesn't feel ashamed, he is thick-skinned.

"Bah." Rolling her eyes, Sophia followed Abigail's lead and played with the medal scroll. She had read the contents several times, but she still didn't feel tired of it.

On the way out of the core area, the various melons Leon had seen disappeared, as did the ceremonial stone slabs where they had been placed. The grassland that served as a transit point was completely covered in green grass, looking perfect for camping. Unfortunately, compared to the Summer Carnival festival site outside, it was still a little less attractive. So after a few glances, Leon led the two girls through the barrier that separated the two places and returned to the large square.

The first thing they saw were the devout Yuba believers. Lyon did not disturb them and walked around the large group of people with Abigail and the others. The celebration ceremony of the Summer Carnival officially came into view.

The crowd was even more surging than when we arrived in the morning, and various makeshift tents, food stalls, etc. were neatly arranged on the outskirts of the square.

At the same time, some vendors who had no stalls and could only sit on the ground, spread a piece of silk cloth in front of them and placed the products they brought for sale looked much more messy, but no one came to stop or interfere.

Leon's excellent eyesight and relatively high height allowed him to see other activities going on simultaneously in the distance, especially in an inflatable swimming pool on the southwest side, which made Leon dazzled because they were playing a water gun battle there.

"Where should we go first?"

There were so many places to visit and hang out that Sophia and Abigail didn't know where to start.

"Eat something?" Lyon looked at the snack stand closest to this side and felt a little greedy.

"Didn't you eat enough before?" Lyon had eaten a lot at the buffet in the banquet hall in the core area, so when Abigail heard this unattractive proposal, she couldn't help but hit Lyon's butt hard.

"Then what do you want to do first?" Lyon asked.

"casual."

"It's all right."

Such a familiar answer gave Leon a headache, so he simply confirmed it directly.

"Then go check out those stalls, then head southwest."

"it is good."

To Leon's relief, his proposal was supported by the two women.

So the first stop was to the area to the south where the vendors were.

"Sir, would you like to see some dolls from the Gotlo Empire? They're the same style as the Prairie King's. They're inexpensive and of excellent quality!"

"Sir, come and see the dinosaur egg fossils from the Ancient Island. Each one was discovered by our expedition team. These ancient dinosaur relics will look very impressive in your home."

"My two beautiful ladies, you deserve shell pendants from the depths of the Gem Sea. These are popular styles among mermaids and will definitely complement your beauty."

"The goblin's gold coin jar is empty, but when the rainbow arrives, it will automatically fill up. Now you only need 5000G to take it away. The return rate is amazing."

"This amulet from Grassland Island can ward off attacks from dark forces and monsters, providing extra protection for your family."
